Storm Signals.

After the first of next month the signals
displayed by the signal service will indicate
the degree of severity of an expected storm.
A cautionary signal, a yellow flag with a
white centre, will indicate that the winds ex-
pected are not so severe but well-found and
seaworthy vessels can meet them without
great danger.
A storm signal NOW in use), a red flag with
black centre, will indicate that the storm
is expected to be of more marked violence. n
In order to afford the public as exact infor-
nation as possible regarding the relative po-
sitiun of the storm and the winds expected,
nant will indicate that the winds are to be
easterly, that is, from northeast to south, in
elusive, and that the storm-centre is ap-
preaching. The white pennant will indicate
westerly winds, that is, from north to south
west, inclusive, and that the storm centre
has passed. While it is intended that the
pennant shall indicate positively only wheth-
er the winds will be easterly or westerly, yet,
in order to give still more definite inferma-
ton, the red or easterly pennant will be dis
played above the cautionary or storm signal
for winds from the northeast quadrant and
below for winds from the southeast quad
rant In like manner, the white pennant
while Indicating westerly winds alone, will
show by its position above the cautionary or
storm signal that northweSterly winds are
probable, or by being below that they will be
from the southwest quadrant.
In view of the difficulty of varying night
signals, they will not distinctively show the
force, but indicate the wind direction only;
red light for easterly winds, and red and
white light for westerly winds.
